Chapter 1018: Ready to End

The next day, news came from the Chengdu Mansion, and as soon as the news came out, it even compared the matter of the investigation of Zeng Xingwu by the minister from the capital, which everyone is concerned about now, and people everywhere are talking about this matter, and the atmosphere is even more tense than before.

But it's no wonder these people, after all, this year's New Year's Pass hasn't passed, and the servant's requisition didn't happen this year, but now, I didn't expect that the servant hadn't been killed, and the remaining people, on the day of this year's pass, came out to rob, this news, naturally made people feel nervous.

Even if they knew that no matter how powerful the servants were, even if they were in their heyday, it would be impossible to attack Chengdu Mansion, but the people who lived here had often heard all kinds of conversations about the servants since they were children, which made them unable to rest assured at all.

Coupled with this matter, it can be said that there was no sound, and suddenly, that morning, Liu Xian asked his generals to lead more than 2,000 people to the southwest, although Liu Xian's camp was stationed outside the city, and the army had not entered the city, but there were still outsiders who saw the march.

So, this matter spread to Chengdu Mansion, many people were inexplicable at first, but when they inquired, they heard that it was actually because of the servants, saying that there were still servants in Wumeng Mansion who came out to loot, and they were really surprised, so the situation after that can be imagined, suddenly hearing such news, other people will also feel surprised and worried, not to mention the people in Chengdu Mansion, these people who have known the terrible things about servants since childhood.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Chengdu Mansion today is really unusual, if you go to the street, you can hear people talking about this matter everywhere, and everyone has an uneasy expression on their faces.

For the common people, what they are most worried about is not the righteousness of the country, nor the impact on the Han people if they don't get rid of the servants, they just care about their own interests, but now the court can be regarded as having a response, no, Liu Xian has already sent someone over, it stands to reason that these people don't have to care too much.

But that's not the case, ordinary people may not have much knowledge, but the common people are not stupid people, especially when they gather together in twos and threes to discuss this matter, there is a saying that "three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang", and now it is not just three people who are talking, so that the question will come out.

That's right, now that the servants have appeared again, it's not wrong, Liu Xian immediately sent someone over, so that this group of people should have no problems, and they will be eliminated immediately.

However, this is just a group of people, who knows, at the beginning of the war, how many groups of servants were left behind and were not wiped out, and now there is a group of people, there is a way that there are one and two, and then three, and four, to deal with one or two groups of people, for Liu Xian and his army, there is naturally no problem, but if the other party appears one after another, here today, there will be there tomorrow.

Now, the end of the war, the army gathered here has also dispersed, even Liu Xian's subordinates are elite soldiers, but it is only 30,000 or 50,000 people, today 2,000 people are sent here, tomorrow another 5,000 people will be sent there, and in the end, sooner or later they will be exhausted, and it will be too late to rescue.

Moreover, the original intention of the question is not for this reason, the main reason is that although there is no news, judging from this incident, the common people naturally think that these remaining servants are hidden in various places in twos and threes, and they don't know when they will come out to hurt people.

Although even if the imperial court can deal with it in time, and even Liu Xian's means of dispatching troops and horses are clever, and he can send troops over immediately after the accident, but when these servants appear, someone will inevitably be injured, this time, I don't know which one is so unlucky, but next time, it may be their turn, what the people are really worried about is this, their own safety, although it sounds a little selfish, but it is very practical.

In this way, although nothing happened, this invisible panic is actually the most worrying.

But this is only a civil matter, as for the officialdom, although it is also because of the news of the sudden appearance of the servant, it suddenly quieted, but quiet is quiet, in fact, in the hearts of these people, they are still more concerned about Zeng Shengwu's affairs, after all, the servant's affairs, in the final analysis, have little to do with them, although there are constant troubles, but for these officials, it actually has no impact.

Compared with these things, the things that belong to officialdom are what they need to worry about.

Therefore, even if the news of the servant's no-ordination came over, the officials in Chengdu did not have any reduction in their "hatred" for Zhang Fan.

And finally, even Joanna noticed it, no, in fact, she realized that it was not right, although she was a woman, but after all, she was born in the aristocracy, and she was an officer in Portugal, although it was in the army, but in fact, the intrigue between non-commissioned officers in the army was not much less than that of civilian officials, not to mention, on the other side of Europe, it was not uncommon for military affairs to be in charge of political affairs, so it was not strange that Joanna would notice it.

In fact, Joanna has already been aware of it, originally, what Zhang Fan came to Sichuan to do, he didn't tell his family, and Joanna, as a person who has just arrived here, she didn't know about the previous assassination at all, but she knew about such a thing through the narrative of the family later, and Joanna didn't take this matter to heart, after all, in her hometown, as well as the countries around Portugal, the assassination of the emperor happened everywhere, and it was not a surprising thing.

But on the way to Sichuan, Joanna felt that Zhang Fan had been planning something, but in line with some things learned from Ru Xue and the others, Joanna never asked about these things.

And after they arrived in Sichuan, Joanna also found something unusual, Joanna also knows a lot about the Ming Dynasty, she knows what Zhang Fan's identity means, that is to say, with Zhang Fan's identity, as long as it is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where he goes, the local officials must be respectful to him.

However, this is not the case in Sichuan, almost all the officials of the Sichuan border they met along the way have a lot of hostility towards them, and for Joanna, this is a surprise to her.

If you talk about that kind of cold resistance, it doesn't matter, but this kind of large-scale, the officials of the entire province are all against Zhang Fan, this is not an ordinary thing that will happen at all.

However, Joanna still didn't talk to Zhang Fan.

But she didn't say it, but those people outside would not give up, for a long time, there were officials everywhere outside the inn, and these people seemed to be bored, whenever they went out, they would see one or two, as long as someone appeared here, these people would all stare at it, and by extension, it was extremely unfriendly, even Joanna didn't let go.

Finally, Joanna couldn't hold it back anymore and found Zhang Fan and asked about it.

And Zhang Fan really didn't expect that even Joanna was shocked, but fortunately, Zhang Fan also understood Joanna's thoughts, if it was replaced by Zhao Xue, it was very likely that Zhang Fan would only need to fool two sentences, but Joanna was different, before she asked, she definitely already had an idea, if she messed around, it would be difficult to misunderstand.

Therefore, Zhang Fan also told the truth, but his so-called truth was actually nothing at all, he just told Joanna frankly that this matter is very complicated now, and it is inconvenient to tell her.

And Joanna is also obedient, and when she heard Zhang Fan say this, she didn't ask anything anymore.

However, Joanna's questioning was not useless, in fact, it was precisely because of her questioning that Zhang Fan made up his mind, and this matter about Zeng Xingwu should also be over.

The reason why he did this was to not make the other party suspicious when he came into contact with Duanwangfu, and now, the two sides have already met, so even if Zhang Fan's goal is achieved, it is pointless to continue this farce.

Therefore, he immediately found Wang Meng and Liang Chao.

"What's wrong with that Kang Er," When the two arrived, Zhang Fan was also not verbose, and immediately asked about it.

"My lord, everything is ready," Wang Meng said, "Now that Kang Er is also very obedient, let him say whatever he wants, he will say whatever he wants, for this matter, he has suffered a lot of flesh and skin, and he will definitely not make a mistake, my lord is now asking about this matter, but are you ready to understand the matter?"

"That's right," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "Originally, we did this just to meet with the people of Duanwangfu without being suspected, but now, this purpose can be regarded as completed, and there is no need to continue,"

"But my lord," Liang Chao was on the side, a little worried, and asked, "If the other party was helping last time, whether it was a person from the Five Poisons Sect or not, but it was indeed a coincidence, then what should I do, if the adult went to see them again now, wouldn't it make them suspicious?"

"Not really," Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "Since we have already spoken, there will be no such problems, and I think that our current situation is much better than expected,"
